Musnad Ahmad 1020 (Book 5, Hadith 442) #34668
Succession of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Turmoil

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the order of succession of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and how turmoil struck them afterwards.

It was narrated that Qais al-Kharifi said: I heard 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) say: The Messenger of Allah came first, followed by Abu Bakr, and the third one was 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما). Then turmoil (fitnah) struck us, and that is what Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, willed. Abu 'Abdur-Rahman said; My father said regarding the words, then turmoil (fitnah) struck us. He 'Ali was showing modesty thereby.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ الْخَارِفِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ سَبَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَثَلَّثَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ خَبَطَتْنَا أَوْ أَصَابَتْنَا فِتْنَةٌ فَمَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ أَبِي قَوْلُهُ ثُمَّ خَبَطَتْنَا فِتْنَةٌ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَوَاضَعَ بِذَلِكَ‏.‏
